Thank You Mum..

Everyone loved my Mum, and she loved everyone, she NEVER judged a book by it’s cover, and luckily for me and my 2 brothers she was very easy going.
There were mornings that my parents would be sat at the breakfast table and over a 30 min. period, about 6 complete strange looking strangers would join them.
They had learnt that if they were all in black with big hair, they were my friends. if they had bright colors in their hair and a safety pin in their cheek they had stayed with Andrew, my brother.. One thing was certain.. they were ALL welcomed, fed and treated like family.

Today my mother is still in touch with far more people from my and my brothers past than the 2 of us combined.

She never doubted or questioned our choices and friends throughout life.

My Mum LOVED the music I used to listen to, and even today when she hears a song from my New Wave Days she jumps up, pumps up the volume and dances

So Mum, this post is for you.. DANCE.. DANCE.. DANCE

When the world took me down

You lifted me high

When the world showed me a ditch

You showed me the sky

When the world told me I was wrong

You said that I was right

When the world laughed at me

You understood my plight

When the world left me on my own

You made sure you were by my side

Thanks, for always being there

Mum, you are my happiness and pride

Her top 5 songs she loved dancing to

And your favorite…
